@Gmuli ,
Usually, based on Five Elements School, we look at change in elemental strength to determine the potential of an outcome.
This includes:
- Direction of that change - increase for better luck in that Ten God area, decrease for poorer luck in that Ten God area.
- Magnitude of change - the greater the difference from a reference point, the greater the effect.
For reference point, we can first work out the strength of the element based solely on natal chart interactions.
Take this case's 酉 metal for example.
Natal chart alone, earthly branch:
卯-戌 combines - only residual earth energy left behind in 戌.
Earth grows metal, so 酉's energy comprises of [戌's residual earth + 未's earth + itself].
This is the 酉's default state.
In this current 10-Year Luck Pillar, 午-未 combines, so 未 is left with residual earth energy.
Consequentially, 酉's energy downgrades to [戌's residual earth + 未's residual earth + itself].
So already in this currently Luck Pillar, his wealth potential is poorer than default state.
In 2024, 辰-酉 combines, so 酉's energy becomes [戌's residual earth + 未's residual earth + its own residual metal].
So 酉 faces a downwards change - which we will describe as experiencing a negative outcome.
And the magnitude of change is significant enough that we can guess that the negative outcome is not mild.
Hence for something as serious as finding the special one, I will say chances seems low.
